Hi,
I am using the Beans template and translated the tm-beans.pot in the folder tm-beans/lib/languages into German (de_DE.pot and de_DE.mo) and saved them into the same folder. Furthermore, I changed the language of Wordpress to German in the admin menu.
Somehow, it is not working, everything is still displayed in English. How can that be? Do I need to rename the files to a specific wording? I do not use any child theme.
Thanks in advance!
Martin
